Finished Federal income tax. Call to go to Wolohan’s & pick out paneling. Then had to haul it to Center as their wagon was too small. Called Ernie Frayer to come to Center to see if he can fix antique door. Thn loaded it in wagon & took to his garage. Then to Irma Campbells to pick up invoice so we could return 3 sheets hardboard to Baldauf – which I did for $22 credit. To Gloria Marshall for 1/2 hr & picked Dave up at school from driver’s Ed. Let him drive home. To bed at 8:00.

To Burrough’s Club carry-in dinner. Program on Medicinal Plants & roll call on Ireland. Pretty boring. Brought home book on Ireland “White Goats & Black Bees” that Margaret Iams loaned me. To Penney’s & brought home 3 shades draperies to try out. Dave had first “hands on” driving school. When I picked him up at 5 let him drive home via the prairie road by RR. He did very well & was so careful.

Bob Whitman & Steve White met here to iron out questions on Thorpe Book. Needed to keep pages at 126 so I suggested they use the roster pictures 3 on a page instead of 2 which saved the 4 pages needed. So now we are back to a $6,400 contract. Steve says index typesetting included in the price so all he needs is a straight print out.

Finished income tax. Another 4 hours – found a few minor errors & didn’t change tax. I have to pay one bit – $1,647.00
